For destruction, as we're destroying the list anyway, we don't need to
insert bookmark and start over from the beginning. For [de]activate policy,
we might need something fancier or change locking so that we can sleep while
iterating. However, policy [de]activations are a lot less of a problem as
they aren't operations which can happen commonly.

Yeah, sure. Looks fine to me.

Thanks.
